Parking is one of the toughest and most sensitive issues confronting governments, businesses and communities. Jeff Tumlin, a leading national expert on parking and transit-oriented development, will address how better approaches to parking management can support community goals of access, economic revitalization and quality of life.

For Arlington, San Francisco, Seattle, Walnut Creek, CA, and a variety of major employers, commercial districts and transit agencies, Tumlin helped identify the most cost effective mix of investments in new parking, improved parking management, and transportation alternatives to meet local access and quality of life goals.

In San Francisco, the city replaced parking minimums with maximums, following Tumlin's innovative analysis correlating parking with affordable housing production, gentrification and traffic generation.
